THE CRESCENT CLUB HOUSE.

They have recently purchased fine resi-
dence in one of the desirable locations in tho
city Through some alterations and addi-
tions the building has been transformed into
one of the most comfortable of club houses.
Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, from
which our sketches were made, thus describes
it: 1t is double house with broad hall and
brownstone front. On one side of the hall
there is saloon parlor, the full depth of the
house: on the other side there are two con-
nected rooms, which now become the ''reccp-
ton rooms" On the second floor the whole
house has been thrown into one room, exclu-
sive, of course, of the stairway. This is tho
club room. In the space occupied formerly
by the back yard, large room has been
built for the general meetings of the club.
This house has been decorated and fur
nished in very artistic style The large
vestibule through which the visitor enters the
hall has been refitted and mounted in brass.
On the left side, as you enter, are the recep-
ton rooms. These rooms are furnished with
dark, carved oak, cushioned with dark green,
embossed leather. The carpet is dark one,
in harmony with the curtains and furniture
The effect of this suite Of rooms is very strik-

To Clean Windows.

A good cleaning powder for show windows,
which leaves no dirt in the joints, is prepared
by moistening calcined magnesia with pure
benzine, so that a mass Is formed sufficiently
moist to let drop form when pressed. The
mixture has to be preserved in glass bottles
with ground shoppers, in order to retain the
easily volatile benzine. A little of the mix
ture is placed on a wad of cotton and applied
to the glass plate 1t may also be used for
cleaning mirrors. Do not use near fire or
light, as the benzine vapor is very inflamma.-

GENERAL ASSEMBLY ROOM.

The assembly room is the largest, and, in
some respects, the most striking room i'll the
bnilding. 1t may be entered from the house
or from doors on Paca street. 1t looks more
like pretty little church than anything else
it can be compared to- The beams OF the
roof are supported by wooden arches, and the
natural wood OF the rafters and the lining of
the roof show. The wlndews are of stained
glass At one end there is platform slightly
raised, corresponding with the pulpit OF a
church 1t is lighted by magnificent chan,le-
liers. The room is not square, but occupies
the whole of what was all irregularly shaped
back yard, and the offsets will be separated
by screens when the full size of the room is
not needed. They correspond with the chapels
of a cathedral In addition to its use as a
place for the clab to hold its meetings it may
beaused as a banqueting hall, for which pllr-
pose 1t would be superb.

is the inventor It is ON the rotary shuttle
principle, and he claims that it is the simplest
yet made for effecting the lock stitch. The
novelty lies in saucer shaped shuttle which
is set up on edge and laid with its fat side

scholars to bring physicians certificates in
case of sickness at their homes is very
rigidly enforced. A few days ago, as a
lady teacher was passing the home of one
of her young pupils, she saw a doctors
carriage before the door. At once the
thought of the terrors of contagious dis.
ease arose in her mind, and when she ar.

anxious suspense until the little girl from
the house Of sickness made her appear.

Disguised Men Take Possession OF

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

ihfEOlAL TO THE skNIikkL.i
SELMA, CAL, May 6.-To-day the Board
OF Directors of the Fowler switch canal,
and Centerville and Kingsburg canals,
went to the head gates Of their respective
bitches to shut off the water, in compli'
ance with an order OF the Superior Court
OF Tulare county. At the Fowler switch
gate about 40 men we're found drawn up
in line on the banks of the canal and
across the gate. They were all disguised
with barley sacks over their heads, and
had their clothes turned inside out. They
were armed with guns and pistols. Mr..
Tucker, President Of the company, asked
what they were doing there, and was told
that they had taken possession OF the
canal, and intended to run the water. At
the Centerville and Kingsburg ditch about
70 men, similarly armed and disguised,
were found. who said that they were there
to save bread for their children. The Di-
rectors could get no other reply from the
msskers, who, during the talking, fired 20
or 30 shots in the air, and ordered the Dr.
rectors to leave, which they did. The
water has been out of the canals for some
time, and many of the farmers in the
southwestern part of the county are get
ting desperate. They are supposed TO be
the ones who now hold forcible possession
of the bitches.
